Found this gem, lets hope it pays off.

I found this book, published in 1960.

So it may not be quite upto date as others, but there are some great marks in there. Some are' hardly ever fished as they require a walk of at least an hour', if they are still availiable they should be fun. I look forward to this summers explorations and finding a few spots away from the crowds.

Any decent marks near eastbourne in it?

[fullcreel]

Sadly it only covers Dorset. Always worth lookig in charity shops or second hand book shops.

[river man]

it certianly is i have one from oxfam books called modern sea fishing by eric cooper dated 1937

[fullcreel]

Sorry, brain frozen fool here forgot to put in the pic, I've added it now.

Great find. I bet some of those obscure marks are well worth a fish. I trip at low tide would also give u more info on the chosen venue.

Hugh Stoker ,is a legend in his own life time ,that book will be full of little gems !

Just read a wonderful line about it being unsafe to fish from the road at ferrybridge, 'neither convienent or safe.

[fishypaul]

his books are full of little gems,i have few, the marks they describe are very good but sadly due to overfishing the variety of fish is a lot less nowadays

BB once wrote.... Catching fish in winter is difficult but then so it is in spring summer and autumn! Great line (He was describing trying to catch carp i might add)
